Hi,
Most possible likely ganglion around the wrist. There is no need to visit ER, you can consult your family doctor by appointment and use ice application till that time for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
